Manchester, NH Seated Dime Fest
Once In A Lifetime Viewing Opportunity

By Gerry Fortin, LSCC #1054

This year’s autumn New Hampshire Coin Exposition featured a once in lifetime
viewing opportunity for northern New England Liberty Seated collectors and
area dealers. The LSCC coordinated an amazing display of condition census
Liberty Seated dimes at “Seated Dime Fest.” Headlining Seated Dime Fest were
the incredible Eugene H. Gardner #1 NGC Business Strike and Proof Strike
Registry sets. Gerry Fortin also displayed his #1 PCGS Business Strike Registry
set and important selections from the Top 100 Varieties collection. Six cases
housed these fantastic numismatic compilations on October 5 and 6. Dennis
Fortier and John Frost once again combined efforts to host LSCC and BCCS
club tables and presented interesting pieces from their individual collections.

There were no auetions in Oetober so there is no Auction News column this month.
Jim will return next month with his popular News column.

(Continued from page I)

“Amazing!” as individuals made their way
across the six display cases. Gene Gardner with
his numismatic advisor, Bill Nagel, hosted a
broad array of finest known dimes and spent
substantial time answering questions and dis-
cussing rarity and provenance for specimens
within the business and proof strike collections.

There were so many extraordinary dimes in the
Gene Gardner’s display cases that attempting to
list and describe each one is well beyond the
scope of this E-Gobrecht event report. Howev-
er, I was simply blown away after viewing his
Eliasberg 1845-0 dime graded PCGS MS69
OGH with a 16x loupe. An MS69 grade implies
perfection and this 1845-0 dime featured a
monster strike, no blemishes whatsoever and
uninterrupted mint frost. Indeed it was perfect!

Throughout the two day show event. Liberty Seated dime variety collectors stopped by to view my
Top 100 Varieties display. Organizing the display and writing the title cards was much fun. The display
highlight was obviously the 1839 Pie Shattered Obverse graded PCGS EF45 along with two earlier die states
prior to the terminal die state. Experienced collectors and casual visitors had never experienced a coin with
such massive die breaks that could be enjoyed without a loupe. One LSCC member even drove from Mary-
land to take advantage of the displays and was not disappointed.

Dennis and John were exceptional hosts at the combined LSCC and BCCS Manchester regional meet-
ing. Attendee turnout was strong with 13 individuals (see group photo on page 6) treated to topics ranging
from an LSCC Officer Transition Committee update, a detailed presentation on the 1839 Pie Shattered Ob-
verse dime, and discussion concerning Lane Brunner and John Frost’s forthcoming release of Double Dimes:
The United States Twenty-cent Piece in hardbound book and online website.

The Manchester, NH Seated Dime Fest report would not be complete without thanking several indi-
viduals. First is show promoter, Ernie Botte, for providing a special display area and increased show security
overnight and throughout the show. The LSCC sincerely thanks Gene Gardner for the time taken to prepare
his magnificent collection for display and coordinating schedules with Bill Nagel. The Gardners, A nn e and
Gene, were gracious hosts during Saturday evening dinner. Spending several days with Gene present the op-
portunity to understand this premier collector’s background and thought processes for constructing sets with

finest known pieces. Pursuing the finest Liberty Seated dimes extant requires in-depth rarity knowledge,
broad numismatic relationships and much patience and determination. It takes a devoted collector with ex-
traordinary passion to assemble the dimes viewed that Manchester, NH weekend. With considerable cer-
tainty, Gene Gardner ranks as a leading collector of our generation and the LSCC is grateful for his mem-
bership and club commitment.

Liberty Seated Collectors Club
Officer Transition Committee Status Report

by Gerry Fortin, LSCC #1054

This month’s committee report will be brief as no
formal eommittee meetings were held in Oetober.

As committee Chairman, please let me share the fol-
lowing aetivity highlights and near term plans to en-
sure that the Committee remains on its published
schedule. Key Committee deliverables inelude
launching the November 2014 Gobrecht Journal is-
sue with Bill Bugert as Editor and announeing post
McCloskey era officer nominations and eondueting
the membership approvals process before John’s re-
tirement at the end of August 2014.

1. Working towards the November 2014
Gobrecht Journal debut, Bill Bugert ereated a proto-
type format template using eomputer based publish-
ing software that ean be easily processed by eom-
mereial print shops. The template is in eolor and
contains test articles with different sized images and
tables. Bill plans to validate his publishing software
and print shop’s ability to reereate and match the eur-
rent Gobrecht Journal format that members have en-
joyed for years. Article solieitation for the Novem-
ber 2014 will begin soon.

2. The Committee approached a long term
club member as potential candidate for serving in the
Club Historian role. The Club Historian role is very
signifieant as John McCloskey’ s Gobrecht Journal
preparation manuscripts and other important doeu-

ments must be eataloged and preserved as important
LSCC history.

3. The Transition Committee is planning its
next meeting at the Whitman Baltimore show as four
of the five eommittee members will be in attendance.
The primary foeus is validating the Committee’s ree-
ommendation for eleeted and volunteer club posi-
tions to accomplish the nine key LSCC funetions as
outlined in the Oetober E-Gobrecht Committee re-
port.

The Committee is targeting the Deeember E-
Gobrecht issue for publishing its revised club man-
agement strueture including those positions that are
elected and those that will be voluntary in nature.
Within the January E-Gobrecht issue, the Committee
will announee its reeommended eandidates for LSCC
elected positions.

Bill Bugert, LSCC Viee President and Len
Augsburger, LSCC Seeretary/Treasurer are both re-
porting a heightened club interest as measured by
new member applications and individuals requesting
to be added to the E-Gobrecht email distribution list.
I am very pleased with the support of the Transition
Committee members and look forward to ongoing
progress towards aecomplishing our Mission and de-
liverables.

Announcing Eugene H. Gardner
Liberty Seated Collections at www.LSCCweb.org

By Gerry Fortin, LSCC #1054

Mr. Eugene Gardner, in close cooperation
with the Liberty Seated Collectors Club, has agreed
to publish his Liberty Seated coinage collection at the
club’s website, www.LSCCweb.org. Each denomi-
nation will be published in a Pictorial Gallery format
constructed with 350x350 resolution images that are
clickable to access high quality, high resolution
2250x2250 images. Securing access to Mr. Gard-
ner’s finest kn own collection via high resolution im-
ages is an important numismatic milestone for the
LSCC membership. Individuals conducting numis-
matic studies including die variety research and prov-
enance analysis for finest known specimens will find
Mr. Gardner’s Pictorial Galleries to be an invaluable
resource.

During the October 4-5, 2013 Liberty Seated
Dime Lest at the Manchester, NH show, Mr. Gardner

transferred his Liberty Seated Dime business and
proof strike set images to Gerry Fortin, LSCC web-
master. Those images were reformatted and are pres-
ently available for viewing in the Seated Dime Picto-
rial Gallery (http://www.lsccweb.org/
GardnerCollection.php). For each date and
mintmark, Gerry Fortin specifies the dime’s third
party grading company and certified grade, a rarity
estimate per the Dr. William Sheldon method, and
finally, appropriate internet links for online variety
information.

Mr. Eugene Gardner is the premier Liberty
Seated coinage collector of our generation and the
Liberty Seated Collector Club is proud to have him
as a member and appreciates his kind contribution
towards furthering the club’s mission.

Regional News

by Gerry Fortin, LSCC #1054

The 2013 LSCC regional meet-
ing calendar is winding down
to a fitting ending at the Whit-
man Baltimore show next
week. Typically the Fall Whit-
man show is the best of the
year and already the club is ex-
pecting a significant member turnout at the Friday
November 8 meeting. Len Augsburger, Secretary/
Treasurer, will once again host the meeting. Agenda
includes an update on November Gobrecht Journal,
an Officer Transition Committee report, and two
presentations on Double Dime books reaching the
marketplace during 2013.

The afterglow of the “Seated Dime Fest” at the Man-
chester NH show remains as it was such a significant
event in LSCC club history. Dennis Fortier, North-
east Regional Director, summed up his feelings
about the event in this email shortly after the show.

It ’s the morning after Manchester. It was such an
exciting show, that I had to sit down and write my
thoughts immediately. The Gene Gardner collection

of Liberty Seated Proof and Business strike Dimes
was amazing. Combined with Gerry ’s awesome
PCGS set was almost too much; but we managed to
survive it. Several people came over to our LSCC
club table shaking their heads and saying WOW.

Gene seamed to enjoy himself as much as we enjoyed
having him and his lovely wife Anne at Manchester.
We can ’t thank Gene enough for picking Manchester
to showcase his finest known collection. The club
meeting was well attended with about 15 people lis-
tening to Gerry ’s Transition Committee update and
his brilliant presentation on the 1839 Pie Shattered
Obverse seated dime (FI 05c). John Frost gave an
update on his Double Dimes book (co-authoring with
Lane Brunner) and then we went on to BCCS busi-
ness.

We spoke to many collectors of all different interests
and several YN’s. The club signed up one new mem-
ber and we have several hopeful candidates with
membership sign-up brochures. I can ’t wait for
March!

The Curious Collector

by Len Augsburger, LSCC #1271

This month we interview
dealer /club member
Doug Winter. Doug is
well known as a gold coin
dealer but as of late has
started carrying a few seated coins. His website
is http://raregoldcoins.com/ .

sj

How did you get started collecting?

I started collecting coins when I was around
seven or eight. I got pretty serious by the time I was
10 or so. Growing up in New York City meant that
I had access to many dealers and there were shows
literally once per month which made it easy for me
to see neat coins.

How did you get started dealing?

John Saunders, who now owns a coin store
near John Wayne airport (London Coin Galleries),
hired me to work for him part-time when I was 1 1
and I did Sunday coin shows with him at the Royal
Manhattan Hotel in NYC. He would pay me $50 a
day but I was able to make that much or more on my
own by “picking off’ adult dealers. My specialty at
the time was 1787 Draped Bust Left Connecticut
cents and I actually had most of the varieties memo-
rized so that I could buy the good coins unattributed
without pulling out the Miller book [Len here -
Doug was surely the only 1 1 -year old in the entire
universe that could cherry-pick colonial copper vari-
eties - these are hard to attribute even with the
book!]

You are #10 on the LSCC membership list. You
must have had some interaction with Kam Ahwash -
what are your recollections of him and did you ever
deal with him?

Kam was a huge influence on me as a kid.
The big Seated coin dealers at the time were Kam,
Bill Grayson, Jim O’Donnell, Gene Edwards and
Brett Simons. Kam was the most kid-ffiendly and
he was extremely kind to me. As I recall, he could-
n’t really grade but he knew varieties extremely well

and taught me a lot about rare dates. He was a real-
ly interesting guy outside of coins. He was a trained
opera singer and a real gentleman who didn’t exact-
ly fit the profile of “standard coin dealer” back in
the day.

Did you ever collect seated coinage systematically
(by date and mintmark, or by design type)?

I was a hardcore collector of Liberty Seated
Quarters and also dabbled in Dimes and half Dol-
lars. I collected by date and mintmark; I was never
all that into the esoteric varieties but would cherry-
pick good coins and sell them to Kam or other deal-
ers. My goal was to assemble as complete a date/
mintmark set of Liberty Seated Quarters as possible
in VF-EF grades. I was about 60% complete but
sold my coins in 1985 in order to finance my busi-
ness.

In gold we talk about "dirty old gold" as highly orig-
inal coins. To the uninitiated, what should an origi-
nal silver coin look like?

The look that I like best on circulated silver
coins is what I would call a “battleship grey” color.
This is even more desirable if there is a “circulated
cameo” appearance as the result of lighter devices
offset by deeper fields. I’m a stickler for clean sur-
faces when it comes to silver and don’t like coins
that are rough or porous.

Do you believe any areas of the seated coin market
are undervalued?

Even though quarters have gone up a lot in
value in recent years, they still seem like great deals
to me, especially nice No Motto coins. I like just
about any perfect EF-40 to AU-58 Liberty Seated
coin, regardless of date, at current levels; especially
if the coin is choice and original. For collectors
with a larger budget, I like truly original No Motto
quarters and halves in the MS63 to MS65 range.

Quarter of the Month

by Greg Johnson, LSCC #1460

1 848 Rotated Reverse Quarter

One of the results of assembling
this colu mn each month is that
collectors and dealers periodical-
ly contact me with a “have you seen one of these?”
question. Though sometimes I can say yes, it is
more frequently an opportunity to learn something
that I did not know. A few weeks ago I received
just such an email from Liberty Seated and Bust
coinage dealer Rich Uhrich inquiring about the exist-
ence of an 1 848 quarter with die rotation. I was
compelled to confess that I had neither seen nor
heard of such a thing. Liberty seated quarters struck
from rotated dies are rare. In fact, one can just about
count the number of seated quarter issues known
with die rotations (greater than 20 degrees or so) on
the fingers of one hand. Those that are relatively
well known include: 1844-0, 1852, 1853, and 1861.

I have seen examples of all these, and heard of an
1850-0 with significant die rotation, but not seen it
in person. A couple of back and forth emails con-
firmed that Rich had acquired an example of a previ-
ously unknown 1 848 quarter struck from rotated

dies.

I met up with Rich at a Pennsylvania coin
show last week and checked out the coin in person.
There was no doubt as to its authenticity, but if we
had had any doubts Larry Briggs (who had a table
two slots up the aisle from Rich) put the last of them
to rest. He also had never seen nor heard of an 1 848
struck from rotated dies, confirming that Rich’s coin
is, as of this writing, unique. The die rotation is
about 90 degrees and, as seen in the figures, this re-
sults in some striking issues. The weak head on Lib-
erty and the weak eagle’s wing are opposite each
other due to the die rotation, most likely resulting in
too large a gap between dies for the planchet to ade-
quately “fill” the incuse areas of the die. The coin is
otherwise about XF.

NYNC Valentine Medals

By Jerry Fochtman

I'm working to build a census for determining how many of the
New York Numismatic Club Medals of Dr. Daniel W. Valentine
may survive. These medals are highly prized among half-dime
collectors, fractional currency collectors, as well as NYNC mem-
bers/medal collectors. This particular medal is generally viewed
as the key to the series, as it is in high demand by members of
these groups.

If you have one of these or know of the whereabouts of
one, please send a note to me at i errv@fochtman.us and simply
give me the serial number of the medal you/they possess. The se-
rial number is found on the edge of the medal, and should range
from 1 to 50 for bronze medals, and 1 to 8 for any silver medals.

A Neat Contemporary Counterfeit Trade Dollar

by John Frost, LSCC #2005

A couple weeks ago, I was meeting with a friend of mine, a coin dealer who knows of my interests for unu-
sual things. He brought out some contemporary counterfeits that he had put away more than 30 years ago.
Most of them were the frequently-seen cast counterfeit Seated and Barber coins, mostly quarters and halves.
One of them, however, caught my eye, something 1 had never seen before — a contemporary counterfeit
Trade Dollar. Not one of the modem Chinese specials, mind you, but rather an interesting die-stmck piece,
made from cmde hand-engraved dies.

This piece appears to be strack in a brass alloy, and then plated. The plating is wearing through in
numerous places, exposing the brass underneath. It is 24.8 grams, and thicker than the genuine.

Liberty’s face is great, with a smirk on it, and the stars are quite cmde. The Date is loaded with tool-
ing. The denticles are all hand-made and uneven, and the eagle’s eye is mostly missing. One other interest-
ing thing is that LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and E PLURIBUS UNUM are missing. The ribbons they
appear on are present, but the engraver didn’t bother inscribing the letters!

(Continued from page 10)

Tooling at date, no IN GOD WE TRUST on ribbon No LIBERTY, featureless bale

All in all, this is a rare and interesting piece, which is in sharp contrast to the modem fake Trades we
are all accustomed to.
